Rats are animals that rarely attack humans, and if they do, it is simply because they got into their territory. Even if it does not attack us, these rodents are usually a danger due to the number of diseases they can transmit. Therefore, in this article we teach you how to make a homemade mouse repellent spray and other types of methods to protect yourself and your family.
The good thing about these methods is that we usually use inexpensive products that are easy to find in any supermarket. In addition, we make sure that we do not harm the animal and that it can continue with its life away from your home.
9 ways to get rid of mice at home:
1. Less cruel traps
These types of traps can be found in any market. They are generally easy to use, you just have to read carefully the mode of use since there are several for sale and they are different when it comes to catching these rodents.
If it has no instructions and is a cage-type trap, it is best to put some food at the bottom of it and put it in a place where they usually live. I recommend you wear gloves to handle these traps, as mice can sniff and will prefer to get food by other means.
2. Peppermint essential oil
This is used by many people, as it leaves a very pleasant smell in the house, we love it, but mice hate this type of smell. For this method, we’re going to do the following:
- We need a lot of cotton and with it we make a couple of buns (the number of buns we need is the number of rooms in your house).
- In each one we have to add between 20 to 30 drops of peppermint essential oil.
- Then we put it in the rooms (especially in the kitchen and bathroom).
Every week, we have to replace these buns with new ones, in this way we will scare away any mouse that wants to enter our house.
